»»» The Beggining of the End «««

In the late '90s, a great crisis in the U.S. market made several comics
publishers out of business. It was a time of great oppression and almost no
editorial creativity.

But, not surprisingly, it was already foreshadowed. The stories have become so
repetitive and confusing that even the most avid reader, got bored. Before the
proper entertainment of the adventure was what catch the audience. But this was
left in the background: what was worth was the wave of marketing.
Parallel universes, clones die here / there rises, blood and beating silly and
brainless texts. This in many publishers!

But it was not always like this. I remember with some nostalgia the time when
the variety of writing and art was the reason for the success of a good comic.
The authors would bring the characters closer to the reader, creating plots and
subplots, forming a great identification between them. Be on Earth or in fictitious
cities or non-forest, in space, in the old west, or fantastic worlds. Today
these stories gave rise to a stereotyped reality, depriving us of the true
pleasures of reading fiction.

How can we assess and fix the mistakes and improve, as authors of HQ? In my
opinion, is returning to the past, when in 1938 the world saw the rise of Superman
in Action Comics magazine. Not long after, in the following years, hundreds of
heroes trying to draw the attention of young American readers.

Faster than any human, stronger than any human in their colorful clothes and
glittering, able to fly and drop rays from hands. They lived their glory days,
in their daily lives in the endless battle against evil. Endowed with superior
skills, owners of extraordinary powers given by the gods, they felt omnipotent,
sure of themselves and their ideals. Within the pages of comics they became
indestructible! It was what the man most desired and never would have!

Is this altruism and values ​​we want to emphasize here in Excelsior Webcomics:
heroes who aren’t confused with villains and who really have something going
for it’s readers, however, without being corny. Of course, will have psychological
content, and social and family, but no exaggeration to pseudo-intellectuals,
with heroes in identity crisis.

Here, you, the reader, will be respected and will be sure to have something
different and quality, without having to follow the "waves of the
market"
